Spent 4-5 Hrs Near Jim Thorpe,in the Big Creek.Next to the Northeast Turnpike......
Nice Aria to spend few hours,but no Black Sand,no Gold of any kind.Lots of Quarts,some are so big,I could not move tham.
That Angus McKirk sluice was singing to me,,,,,,feed me------feed me........
Love that little thing.
It really is a shame,I could spend a hole day there.....Or two.
Hope you enjoy the photos.......

actually talked to Angus McKirk himself today on the phone . Had to ask him some questions about his suggestion for a sluice for my dredge I'm building. Very nice man and very willing to help. I recommend him for that reason only . We need more people willing to talk directly to there customers.
